Ah - I have seen problems with laptop suspend/resume on the nvidia equipped machines with the 3D drivers. known bug I think... As far as stability in normal scenarios the nvidia takes all the punishment I can give it and keeps on trucking, hella stable. Lots of 3D FPS, OpenGL screensavers, movies etc. but I don't suspend my workstation - different strokes for different folks I guess...
